Prince Edward Island may be Canada’s smallest province, but when it comes to golf, it punches far above its weight. The island’s red cliffs, sandy beaches, and rolling farmland create the kind of natural canvas golf architects dream of. That’s why SCOREGolf’s Top 59 Public Courses in Canada features three standout PEI tracks. Each one is different, but all are worth the trip. Here’s what makes them special.
The Links at Crowbush Cove — #16
Crowbush is often the first course people think of when they picture golf in PEI, and for good reason. Perched along the Gulf of St. Lawrence, it features both seaside dunes and inland holes framed by pines and marshland. The course is famous for its risk-reward par 5s, tricky par 3s, and greens that demand a sharp short game. With the wind off the water constantly shifting the challenge, no two rounds ever feel the same. Combine that with a beautiful resort on site, and you’ve got the total package for a PEI golf getaway.
Dundarave — #34
Set along the Brudenell River, Dundarave has a striking modern design with bold red sandstone bunkers that are iconic on the East Coast, really popping against the green fairways. Designed by Dr. Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry, the course feels wide-open, inviting big swings off the tee, but still demanding precision into the greens. It’s the kind of course where both scratch golfers and higher handicaps can find enjoyment, with multiple tee options and a layout that feels both fair and dramatic.
green Gables — #40
Designed by the legendary Stanley Thompson and later refined by Thomas McBroom, Green Gables is as classic as Canadian golf gets. Located in Cavendish, right in the heart of PEI’s north shore, it pairs the timeless routing that Thompson is known for with views of the famed Cavendish dunes and, of course, Anne of Green Gables heritage sites. The course isn’t overly long, but it rewards accuracy and strategy. Plus, its mix of history and scenery makes it one of the most memorable rounds on the island.
